For the timeframe of Monday, April 28, 2008, until Monday, May 17, 2008, Budget staff will be running processing steps in Colleague for Budget Prep FY09. The schedule for running these steps will be as follows:
All users will need to exit from Datatel’s HR and CF applications, which include the Budget Module, during the above timeframes. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance!
The Colleague Budget Module will be open on Monday, April 28, 2008, at 8:00 a.m. and ready for input of state and institutional budgets for fiscal year 2009.
An updated Colleague Budget Module Resource and Training Guide, which includes a calendar for State/Institutional Budget Prep, will be available on Monday, April 28, 2008, at http://inside.cpcc.edu/budget/default.htm.
The guide is titled State/Institutional Budget Module Resource & Training Guide FY 09 and can be used as a quick reference resource for loading your budget.
For hands-on assistance with loading your State and/or Institutional budget for your areas of responsibility, you are welcome to attend a Budget Prep Work Session at Harris Conference Center at Harris Campus in Room #2121. You can sign up for these help sessions (scheduled for weekdays only April 28, 2008, through May 15, 2008) via LearnerWeb under the event title of “State/Institutional Budget Prep FY09 Work Session,” which can be found on CPCC’s intranet site.
Since these work sessions do not qualify as training, attendance at these sessions will no longer enable you to earn Professional Development hours; however, enrollment is still highly encouraged for planning purposes.
In March 2008, Budget staff distributed full-time salary information to account managers for their review. This information (full-time salaries and accompanying benefits), along with any changes requested, has been automatically loaded into the Budget Module. So you will not be responsible for inputting this information. However, you will need to enter any needed budget for part-time and/or overload salaries and the accompanying benefits.
Budget staff will be stationed at HCC 2121 for the dates of April 28, 2008, through May 15, 2008 (weekdays only) in the mornings from 8:30 to 11:30 and afternoons from 1:00 to 3:30. Again, if you wish to attend one of these work sessions, please enroll via LearnerWeb. If you need assistance outside of the scheduled work sessions, please email Budget staff and someone will get with you as quickly as possible.
Thank you and best wishes for a successful new year!
CPCC Budget Staff Members:
The Institutional Effectiveness Committee was appointed by the College for the purpose of assessing continuous improvement of programs, services and administrative functions of the College. The committee examines institutional effectiveness from four perspectives:
To keep you informed, the IE Committee will publish an article each month to share developments in one of these areas.
This first article highlights efforts to meet Accountability/Performance Measures. In this area, there is increased collaboration between the IE Committee and the Retention Committee to examine the performance of our College Transfer students after they transfer. CPCC has not yet realized the state performance standard of having 83% students receive a GPA of 2.0 or higher within two semesters after their transfer to a four-year institution. The IE Committee endorsed all recommendations made by the Retention Committee and lends support to its work.
Three work groups of the Retention Committee are focusing on specific tasks relating to the success of our college transfer students. One group, chaired by Gene Ritter, is looking at immediate actions the College can take to improve performance of this student group. Another, chaired by Linda White, is bringing together groups of transfer students (those now at CPCC and those who have already transferred) to gather input regarding how we might better prepare our students for what they will experience upon transfer, particularly to UNC Charlotte. The third group, chaired by Clint McElroy, is studying the practices of the 10 NCCCS institutions that have historically performed best on this measure.
At its March meeting, the IE Committee endorsed the methodology being used to assess best practices at the 10 leading institutions for this performance measure. Discussion focused on the appropriateness of survey methods being used and suggestions for further research. The input of the IE Committee regarding methodology is important to the work of the Retention Committee, as it verifies that the results of the research are being garnered through sound practices.
If you have suggestions or comments regarding ways in which the College might act to improve the performance of our students who transfer to four-year institutions, please send them via email to clint.mcelroy@cpcc.edu. These suggestions will be used in the development of recommendations by the Retention Committee to the College Cabinet.
One of the many benefits of the new ORBIT system is that information can be delivered to members directly. For the first time, the Retirement Systems Division will mail On the Horizon newsletters and employees’ annual statements directly to homes this year. This is an improvement over past years when statements and newsletters were sent to employers for distribution.
Due to the size of the mailing, statements will be sent in waves beginning in mid-April. The mailing for the first wave will be staggered throughout the month. As a result, employees within the same organization may receive their statements at different times. The second wave will be mailed later in the spring. The date of the second mailing will be communicated once it is scheduled. If home addresses are out of date and statements are returned as undeliverable, these statements will be sent to the employer for distribution.
Annual statements will be mailed to employees who made contributions to their retirement account as of December 31, 2007. Those with less than 12 months of service, with contributions as of December 31, will receive a shorter one-page statement.
As in previous years, those who did not contribute to the Retirement System as of December 31, such as retirees or terminated employees, will not receive a statement.
Did you place any personal or library-owned materials on reserve in the library this semester? If so, we would like to remind you that all items must be removed from reserve status at the end of each semester.
Unless notified, all library-owned items placed on reserve will be withdrawn by May 23, 2008, and returned to the respective collection. In addition, all photocopied materials (e.g., articles, chapters of books, etc.) will be taken off reserve and returned to you by May 30, 2008.
If you are unsure about items you placed on reserve this semester, check the course reserves list. Also, we ask that you please be mindful of the following CPCC Library Reserve Policy when requesting that future items be placed on reserve:
If you have any additional questions or require assistance, please contact yan.wang@cpcc.edu or Jennifer.arnold@cpcc.edu.
Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated. We hope you had a successful semester and look forward to serving you in the summer and/or fall.
The commands in PowerPoint 2007 have a different look. Those commands used most frequently are now the most prominent, and you’ll see them first when you open PowerPoint 2007. The goal is to keep them visible so you don’t have to hunt for them on menus or toolbars that aren’t displayed.
The set of most-used commands extends across the first layer, or tab, or the Ribbon, called the Home tab. Displayed as buttons, these commands support frequent tasks, including copying and pasting, adding slides, changing slide layout, formatting and positioning text, and finding and replacing text.
There are other tabs on the Ribbon. Each tab is devoted to a type of work you do when you create a presentation. Buttons on each tab are arranged in logical groups. The most popular buttons in each group are the largest. View this entire Microsoft course.
For further information check out CPCC’s MS Office 2007 project page.

Mark your calendar. CPCC’s second annual Employee Health and Fitness Day event is scheduled for Thursday, May 15, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on our Central Campus. Last year, over 200 employees attended, and this year we are expecting over 250 employees. The main purpose of the event will mirror the success of last year—a festive, noncompetitive series of health and fitness events with over 20 community health and fitness exhibitors, and 20 hands-on fitness events. In addition, the Senate Spirit committee will provide a variety of nutritious healthy snacks, and Coca-Cola will provide healthy alternative drinks for all participants. Pictures from last year are available on our Be Well website.
To make this employee event a success, volunteers are needed to assist at the registration table, at the snack tables, or at the fitness events. Please consider volunteering for one hour from 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. or 12:00-1:00 p.m. and then contact Libby Vagnoni (4273).
The single most effective way for faculty to help CPCC students save money when purchasing textbooks is by placing course adoptions early.
We want our customers to have the right book when they need it, and we make every effort to find a used copy. If you are planning to use the same text next semester, tell us as soon as possible! We will be able to buy those textbooks from students at the end of the current semester. Or, if you are using a different text, advance notice gives us time to request used books from other college stores in the efollett.com network so they can buy them back for us. This ensures that plenty of used books will be available for your course.
Early adoptions help students twice: more cash back at buyback and less expensive used books later.
The key to having this program work is timely communication. The bookstore needs to receive textbook ordering information prior to each buyback period. That means that we need to know which books are needed for three months before the start of the new semester. By working together we can help keep the price of textbooks down.
Need more information? Call the Lisa Sanford, CPCC Textbook Manager, at 3515 or email lsanford@cpcc.edu.
The 2008 eLearning Seminar: “Beyond Text: Using Multimedia to Reach and Teach” is an instructional development training that will elevate eLearning courses from being two-dimensional, primarily text-based web spaces to interactive, multi-dimensional environments, by taking advantage of new multimedia technologies.

This is to announce my candidacy for College Senate president-elect. I have been a full-time CPCC faculty member in the Communication instructional area since 1989 and was employed for four years prior to that as a part-time CPCC instructor. I have been involved as a College Senator or committee member for fifteen years, serving my first term as senator in1990. I have a solid foundation of understanding of both the mission and functions of College Senate, having served as committee chair or co-chair of faculty welfare, student welfare, academic policies, credentials, curriculum, educational resources, and secretary.
Building on the accomplishments of previous and current College Senate leadership, I will dedicate my services as the 2008-09 College Senate president-elect and 2009-10 College Senate president to the welfare of CPCC faculty, professional staff, and students and to supporting the mission of CPCC as a learning college. I cannot think of a greater honor than to be given the opportunity to represent the interests and well-being of this outstanding group of colleagues and students. Therefore, it is with appreciation that I request your vote of confidence in supporting my candidacy for College Senate president-elect.
Please vote!
Sincerely,

§ CPCC’s Math Division is sponsoring a third grade class at Thomasboro Elementary in a fundraiser to raise funds for the school’s math curriculum needs. All the third graders will take a 25-question math test on May 9. We will sponsor the class with the highest number of correct answers.
You can support this worthy cause by pledging an amount (of your choosing) per correct answer. The class will have no more than 25 students; therefore, there will be at most 625 correct answers.
If you pledge a penny per correct answer, your donation would be at most $6.25. If you pledge a nickel per correct answer, your donation would be at most $31.25. If you pledge a dime per correct answer, your donation would be at most $62.50. Alternatively, you can pledge a flat amount, rather than an amount per problem. No pledge is too great or too small!
Beyond raising money, the goals of the fundraiser are to improve the students’ math skills, to help prepare them for the End-of-Grade test, and to increase their interest in and enjoyment of mathematics.
We will accept pledges through Wednesday, May 7. To pledge, send your name and pledge amount via email to Kara Allara or Mary Ann Bradham. During the week of May 12, you will be notified of the amount of your donation and you will have until May 15 to submit your money. You can pay by cash or by check (made out to Thomasboro PTA with “Math Incentive” noted in the memo line).
If you have any questions, please contact Mary Ann Bradham (4136) or Kara Allara (6017). Together we can make a BIG difference!

On behalf of our entire family, thank you for your expressions of sympathy and support as we mourned the loss of Lee. Without wonderful friends like you, it would have been much more difficult to cope during this solemn period.
Your condolences, thoughtfulness, and generosity are sincerely appreciated. We extend our heartfelt thanks, and your kindness will always be remembered.
